An A-Z restoration...I bought this 3 weeks ago and it was shattered in shipping due to seller stupidity. It had no name and no bezel. Everything was crusty inside but I liked it. I was the only bidder at $10.00 because shipping said $168.50. There was a second option for $21.00 shipping UPS which I guess no one saw. I actually saved the original finish with some paint matching and color sticks. She is not perfect but she is a beauty to me.Kenny Richmond provided the Grill cloth.Julie N Marty McCall provided the perfect escutcheon. It was a Stewart Warner escutcheon but I shaved the name off and color matched the original patina.My niece provided the popsicle sticks

Here are the original eBay photos.

Kirk, You did a quite nice job repairing that cabinet. Many Crosley's that I have seen from that time had a tag riveted on the back of the chassis. Remember you have to take the results from grill cloth for what they are. All they are telling you is some radios used that tube line up. Recently someone was looking for info on a very similar looking radiobut it had one or two more cut outs in the grill. Might have been a brother. Keep up the good work. Henry

Kirk, I think it could be a Crosley too but Grill Cloth is not the be all end all either . Sometimes try changing the tubes around and you may get different results. One radio I have did not show up at all and I went thru the Mallory manual page by page and found the tube line up . But with no pictures on the web it's a crapshoot. Since then I have found it listed as a Stratford model. A lot of the early radios just have nothing on line.

Thanks for the tips and pics on repairing the grill. Awesome stuff. Henry

You have to love those inflated shipping prices on eBay. It pays to pay attention to your bids as such. Glad you got it for a reasonable sum since the seller didn't know how to pack a radio for shipping. You did a fantastic job on the restoration and the radio looks great. Once you get the line cord replaced let us know how it performs.
